Penelope Cruz joins the cast of ‘Chromophobia’

Chromophobia: According to Variety, Penelope Cruz has joined an ensemble of Brit actors on Chromophobia, a psychological drama set in contemporary London, written and directed by Martha Fiennes.

The $10 million pic is majority funded by Tunisian mogul Tarak Ben Ammar, through his Paris-based Quinta Communications, and the Isle of Man Film Commission, where pic is filming.

"Chromophobia" is described by Rotholz as "a London film with a New York sensibility," inspired by U.S. filmmakers such as Robert Altman, Woody Allen and Paul Thomas Anderson.

Probing the dilemmas of modern London life, where the old-fashioned virtues of honesty and loyalty are replaced by the new morality of success and celebrity, it's the story of a bourgeois family slowly coming apart at the seams.
